I recently purchased a used 220 gallon saltwater system and did not like the look of the original stand nor did I feel comfortable with it being structurally sound. Ive decided to build my own stand instead.
I asked my friend to pick me up some 2x6's to build the famous rocket engineer stand found everywhere. To my demise he picked up 2x10's.
The tank dimensions are 72 1/2" wide, 24 1/2" front to back
The stands dimensions will be 76" wide, 26" front to back and 40" tall and will be topped off with 3/4" plywood (no centre braces but 2 cross braces on top)
So my question is will this stand support my tank even though the tank will sit inside the perimeter of the stand?
